Ken Martin, the longtime leader of Minnesota’s state Democratic Party organization, won the vote to lead the national party committee this month.

Summary

Ken Martin, the new DNC chair, has begun his first multistate tour on Monday, visiting key swing and red states including Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Illinois, Texas, and Missouri.

His itinerary includes meetings with union representatives, state party chairs, and door-knocking for a special election candidate near Pittsburgh.

A former Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party (DFL) leader, Martin said the tour aims to reconnect with diverse voters, rebuild the party’s brand after recent losses, and aggressively counter policies and misinformation from Trump and others.

    So the elected chairman of the DNC “takes over” the party, but the legacy media can’t say that about an actual fascist dictator. Got it.

      Also, when you’re installed by the establishment, you’re not taking over anything.

      Well of course not. They’re republiQans. Or, owned by them anyway.
